Peaceful

Arrival at site was quite straightforward. Pitches were basic but adequate. All usuals facilities water, EHU, chemical disposal. Very quiet site, spacious & handy for A1. Village very quaint with pub 10 minute walk - alas no shop now as it has recently closed. Good value for what you get nowadays.

Peaceful basic site

The site is easy to find following the directions in the book. It is a field with an open aspect and basic facilities. Although hardstandings are advertised, these were not apparent. We were confused about how to pay until one of the other campers pointed out a small notice pinned up near the tap. The farm house is not the obvious one, but is half a mile up the road and difficult to find. We did manage to find the farm eventually and paid the owner who said, "Thanks". At £16 a night, it seemed a little overpriced for the standard offered. We stayed two nights and Newark is well worth a visit, as is the Workhouse near Southwell (National Trust). If you're into clocks, there is also a Museum of Timekeeping at Upton. Useful stopping off point on a northward journey, close to the A1.

The most peaceful site ever!

This was by far the most peaceful site we have ever stayed on. We had the most relaxing stay on this lovely site. The amenities are basic but adequate. The scenery is beautiful and there are lots of wonderful walking in the area. The village is so quaint with some amazing houses. The shop is well stocked and the pub does lovely food. The pub has strict opening times (12-2 and 6- whenever!) with a no dog inside policy. This site is really worth a visit if you are looking to recharge your batteries and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside........lovely!

Wonderful quiet, peaceful site

As the title of our review suggests, we really appreciated the peace and tranquillity of this lovely site. All you could hear were birds, horses, cyclists and the occasional car! We wanted to walk and cycle and Norwell is well placed for both. Norwell itself is a lovely village with interesting houses and a shop as well as a pub.

Just what CL should be

We booked at the last minute as we just wanted to recharge our batteries with some peace and quiet not too far away. Norwell is a pretty Village with a well stocked shop and a pub that’s popular with the locals. You need to book for Saturday night, although the landlord did manage to squeeze us in. The site is spacious and very peaceful surrounded by fields. We walked from the site both days using OS maps and hardly saw a soul. Didn’t manage to meet the owner as he came whilst we were out but we left the money in the tin as instructed. If you don’t know Newark it’s worth a visit, especially the Civil War Museum.

Very Pleasant CL

We only planned to stop one night, but stayed three. If you want peace and tranquility on the edge of a very pleasant village this CL will be for you.The CL owners are friendly and helpful and live near by. It is set in a long field with well spaced pitches and hook up points. There are basic water and waste facilities and the CL has an open sunny aspect and looks over surrounding countryside. We visited in dry weather in March and had no problems driving on to or off the field in our 7.5M motorhome. There are two hard (but grassed) pitches at the entrance that motorhomes can use if ground conditions are soft due to weather. While walking around the village, we were struck by how friendly all the locals are, everyone we passed giving us a welcoming hello. The pub is an easy walk from the site and has a good range of food at reasonable prices. The beer was very well kept too. We read an earlier review complaining that the pub did not allow dogs, however as dog lovers, and former dog owners, it shouldn't be considered a problem to respect the wishes of others. The village shop is worth a visit, it stocks a wide range of goods including wine and spirits, cakes made by the CL owners wife, and bread from a local bakery. A post office also operates here twice a week. The A1 is a short drive away, close enough for easy access, but far enough away not to be heard. We will definitely return if in this area again.

Excellent CL

Lovely, quiet peaceful site, with everything you need when self contained. Easy access, with the owner living just up the road; who was easy to contact via phone. Good value for money, and near to a lovely village. Originally came to this area to attend a nearby awards ceremony, however, we were really surprised as to what there is to see and do. Newark's newest 'attraction' is the National Civil War Museum, and we spent a whole day in there. Lots of other civil war places to visit. Some great cycling lanes, and one of the days we cycled over to Sherwood Pines, and Southwell, with its very own Minster. Not forgetting a visit to one of the numerous real ale establishments. The local shop (Brendas) stocks everything you will need, and it's like stepping back in time. Make sure you buy some cakes which are baked by the owner of the CL. We will definately return as we haven't seen everything there is to see.

Countryside Bliss

This is our first visit to this site and we are on day 7 of an 11 night stay . We searched the handbook for a CL where we could relax and this one certainly is allowing us to do just that . Yes there is sound of farm vehicle activity but that is what you’d expect if you’re in the heart of countryside and there’s still harvesting happening . But there’s all the other “ sounds” .... lots of birdsong , the distinctive sound of hawks flying overhead and owls calling at night . As far as “ facilities” go then this Village is spot on for us with a brilliant village shop that has “ produce” and “ products” supplied from other members of the Village and an old pub where lovely meals are available and that is also within walking distance .. just a 15 minute stroll . Newark is the nearest town with lots happening at the moment ..... you can even have a cruise on the Trent . So we will definitely be returning ... so glad we’ve found it and not too far from home so we can come for shorter stays too .

Great weekend

This is a lovely site very peaceful. It is within walking distance to the village store and pub who are very friendly and welcoming. It was close to Sherwood Pines. Hope to revisit again soon.

Nice and peaceful

This site is on a fairly flat field. Nice and quiet lots of nice walks from the site to neighbouring villages. We didn't eat or drink in the pub as they are not dog friendly, we did eat at the Crown Inn at Bathley which was very nice. Overall good site would visit again.
